To hell with preambles and setups, it is time to get real. The March Divide’s Lost Causes drops June 10^th on Slowstart Records and the ten new tracks from Jared Putnam are unlike anything we’ve heard in quite a long time; outside of his live performances. As a final teaser to the sixth studio album, The March Divide release the visual video and single to “Dover Cir.”

The minute-twenty track begins innocently enough, striking a similar raw tone the previous single “Mont Del Dr,” but quickly takes on an almost acoustic prog rock 3/4 sound reminiscent of Howe/Kaye. As Putnam explains it is “based around a phone recording I made on vacation of an unfinished idea is brought to life by animated accompaniment made by Hector Gallardo of Subharmonic City Productions. I sometimes wish I spent more time with this idea & pushed myself to follow through making it an actual song. But when I listen back, I’m not sure it was ever meant to be anything other than what it is.” Tough to argue the logic behind that and the fact this is a side of The March Divide we haven’t seen before. Is this where Lost Causes is headed? Find out June 10^th.
